This lamp
Why this one
Five reasons it earns its place
Light with colour in it
A plain bulb gives you brightness. This gives you a pattern on the wall, because the light has to pass through hundreds of cut glass pieces before it reaches the room.
Made by hand, so no two match
Every panel is cut and joined into a leaded frame by hand, which is why the pattern sits slightly differently on each shade.
The numbers

BaseCast resin, weighted
Size20 cm across, 33.5 cm tall
Handmade stained glass, not printed filmCut glass set into a leaded frame by hand, not a printed film over plastic.
Throws coloured light across the whole cornerThe light passes through hundreds of pieces, so the whole corner takes its colour.
Pull chain switch, nothing to set upA chain on the neck, the way these lamps have always worked. Nothing to set up.
Four patterns: leaf, maple, rose, blossomLeaf and maple read autumnal. Rose and blossom read softer and pinker.
Reads as an heirloom, not a purchaseAssembled by hand, so the pattern sits slightly differently on every shade.
